Set the variable place

For the next version of Scratch, it will be very nice to have this new feature :

Set the varable place. I want this command because I have this problems with my games when I post them on the site. Variable is not placed at the place I want them to be.

So like an Object place :

<when green flag clicked>
<show>
<go to x sad  128 )y sad  345

The command would be like :
Variable X: Y:

I am waiting for the new Scratch Version!

Re: Set the variable place

First, let's talk about your problem.

This one is irritating. You work on your project, place the variables in their positions, and save.

So far so good.

You then exit your project. When you return, you will find that the variables have lost their positions and have returned to their starting place.

It's frustrating, but there's a way around this! To stop it from happening, have your variables showing when you save. It may look a bit ugly, but it works, and your project will work fine.

(quoted from http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=30482)

Then to talk about your idea.

Ah... I don't think you'll need this anymore if you can solve the problem.

By the way, next time when you try to add Scratch blocks to your post, please put the [blocks] tag because without that the text below will become bold and not that easy to read.

Re: Set the variable place

While the root of the suggestion may be the glitch that causes variables to relocate, the suggestion still stands. I support! It's been suggested a lot, and I believe (but am not entirely sure) that the Scratch Team have mentioned it will be in the next version of Scratch.

Re: Set the variable place

that would be cool! not just to place your variables at the beginning but with that block you could move the variables around in-game if for some reason you wanted to
